Assess the following as probably true, as probably false, as requiring further documentation before judgment, or as a claim that cannot properly be evaluated. Consider both the nature of the claim and the source."A few years ago AT&T did two surveys showing that technically trained persons did not achieve as many top managerial jobs in the company as liberal arts graduates did."-New York Times
What will be an ideal response?
Probably true. It is often risky to accept what secondhand reports say about what surveys "show," but the New York Times is a credible source. This claim is probably true. Note, however, the vagueness of "did not achieve" and "top managerial jobs."
